There I am! Now I must find coffee

what does upgrading a branch consist of?

TinyTim

Congrat's Meggie! A little late, but better late than never!

Hope the wedding loot was full of money and useful stuff...and by the way...did you smash the cake in the face?

TinyTim

Have you removed all unnecassary peripherals connected to the PC (i.e. external USB drives, printers, scanners, etc) and then try to restart.

Also, try to remove/reseat the RAM and video cards. Also reset the power connector on the Mobo.

nothing fancy, just something that looks nice and flows well. It's actually for my wife's photography business, but she has a program that she uses to create the galleries - so no need to incorporate into design. Shopping cart would be nice, but not necessary - maybe an add on for later.

Things we ...

Found an old post about some of the members here who do web design on the side. Since the post was over a year old I figured I would start a new one.

I am looking to hire someone to layout a websight for me. I already wasted $$$ on an unreliable web developer who is now completely unresponsive, but ...

Heard on the news today that the city allows any municipal employee to issue a citation - the problem is that most of them don't know how to interpret the ordinances....effing annoying - are there not better ways to raise revenue?

TinyTim

So the camcorder is only available on the 3G-S....Lame....

Or did I miss the update....

I just picked up a 2002 Suzuki Katana 750 - not the sportiest of bikes, but it's not too bad for long rides and has enough "pep" for me. Congrats on the sale....and purchase of the clubs...I think?

if the world has read and execute (r-x) and executes a process in a directory with SETGID enabled and group on directory has rwx then process will execute with group permissions and not users?

or, if world has r-- on a file, and setgid is enabled on the directory can they execute the program ...

TinyTim

Anyone?

TinyTim

Unix question - can someone clarify the SETGID or SGID feature - I am trying to determine if I set the SETGID on a directory, and group has read / execute---permissions will display as "r - s" ---- will this allow a user to inherit the group privileges if set group ID is turned on?

Or does the ...

...hmm...maybe the RAID 5 setup is not the right thing for my needs like I thought it was...have about 2TB of data on various drives of various sizes that I have copied to the RAID (still on other drives..have not erased yet).

DVD's would not be toooo ideal as it would take MANY MANY discs and ...

So they are kept on the Intel chipset on the motherboard and do not reside within Intel Software on O/S

TinyTim

Any thoughts? Can I reformat C and still have the raid 5 partitions / information intact - Raid drives are on Intel chipset, C drive is on sep. controller

TinyTim

And I appreciate it, Dan! Heck, I said 'screw it, where's the beer?' after the first try. I was out of ideas in no time. I really feel that I tried everything at this point, short of buying more and more parts to troubleshoot what's causing the issue.

Whenever the board is replaced it is always best to re-load the OS as the drivers will most likely be different - in this case you should be able to call MS and say you upgraded hardware, installed on one PC etc and re-activate.

Question - I have an ASUS P5Q Pro that has 5 1TB drives in a RAID5 configuration.

The software used to control the RAID is Intel Matrix Storage ( http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/matrixstorage_sb.htm ) - my question is - I know I had to configure the RAID setup through the BIOS/MOBO utility ...

TinyTim

Does this mean he will not reply?? I fell so used....

What was the resolution...has me curious now

TinyTim

ugh...Microsoft...

Call and when you get the automated prompt then answer as Pete suggested - only one pc has this o/s installed and you changed hardware which is what prompted the notification. If you get an actual person (and they have noted the change in MOBO agains the license) then state you ...

TinyTim

A few suggestions / Questions that would be helpful with troubleshooting-----

- Can you get into the BIOS
- Settings in BIOS are correct, does the BIOS recognize installed memory/drives?
- What is the temp reading on the processor - I fried a processor once and it acted as you are describing ...

It is in the most definitive way a compliment (say between) two drinking buddies or friends when they want to call each other out in an attempt to bring attention to the other for what ever foolish reason it may be, there are no rules, and it is taken by the friend as a compliment. So there are no ...

Looking to offload the following items:

- Gigabyte EP35-DS3L mother board ($50 shipped) - purchased an ASUS board with RAID capabilities to replace. Board works fine, I purchased from Newegg in October 2008.

- 2gb (1gb x2) memory kit ($20 shipped) - DDR2 - 5300 RAM - removed from a DELL XPS 630 ...

TinyTim

yeah..I am not buying the dust thing...it could be the modem (not likely if they have been there 3 times...then again). Other item to check is the Router if you have one connected. I had a similar issue and found that if I reset the router (not the cable modem) the issue was fixed, for a while. I ...

TinyTim

Check out the Dell outlet store - for whatever reason (cust returns, etc) I have come across non-business pc's with Windows XP and Home on them...granted they are not "new" but they still have the same warranty

TinyTim

That makes sense...I will give it a shot, may have to shoot a PM your way later if a Q arises.

TinyTim

how secure is the port forwarding thing though? I thought once you opened a port and directed traffic to the machine you are essentially opening the pc up to the Internet and anyone who decides to scan the port can access the machine...strong passwords and encrypted connection - what else can you do

You're looking for a router that has a built in VPN server? Or supports VPN passthrough..such as from home you VPN to the office?

VPN server - if exists...

I want to be able to remote into my pc from, say another state to view files and/or perform work via remote desktop session. I may be going ...

TinyTim

My current router is on the fritz, meaning I have to restart it a few times a day to keep it going (sort of like being on life support and needing to shock the thing back to life). No biggie, it's a few years old and served me well based on my needs then.

So now my needs have changed...I am looking ...

As much as I love Crucial....their Ballistix RAM can be touchy..often requires higher than standard voltage to run. Some mobo's have issues with that. I suggest standard Crucial RAM.
I'd go with a pair of these..
2GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 memory module

Well, I placed the order for the ASUS late last night at Newegg, should be here next week. I also ordered a few 1TB WD Black drives (5) to put into a raid 5 config for data storage with the OS being placed on a 74 gig WD 10k drive and 4 GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM (which was on the QVL of the Mobo ...

TinyTim

Thanks for the input...I think I will go with the Asus board

TinyTim

Did not know that was there....do you know if Asus has a smilar site that would list "tested" RAM for the mobo?

TinyTim

Which board are you running?

TinyTim

I have an Intel Cor2Duo E7200 processor and would like to purchase a stable/reliable/compatible/all that other good stuff motherboard and RAM combo to compliment it.

Here are the motherboards I was currently thinking of:

ASUS P5Q DELUXE - http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?modelmenu=1&model=2257 ...

Thanks YoSC and Koldchillah - Think I will go with a Precision workstation then.

YoSC - smack a client for me.

TinyTim

Another question - what is the difference between the XPS line and Precision? Seems like they have similar specs but XPS is mainly for gaming and precision for business - what makes them different

TinyTim

I know we are moving more towards a thread that belongs in the "hardware" section - but would a Quad core processor be a worthy upgrade for Photoshop CS3 as I believe it may only use two threads/cpu's?

TinyTim

Thanks Brian - that makes sense. Don't get me wrong, the p.c.'s I built worked great - but over time they just seem to have chronic issues. Overall, it seems I may have select from the "component of the month" club for the motherboards and RAM to save some dough so I could obtain a higher end ...
